In the garden centres.
.1 The room where some nurserymen have the seeds to germinate is kept at a constant low temperature level, at around 4°C.
.2 May be they do not know, but, doing that way, they favour the release of heat at the passage of any spatiole. On a probability basis, they improve the state of the seeds, by doubling the chances that a virtual spatiole becomes active.
.3 In fact, both main spatioles may become operative. Does not matter the hour of the day, all the excess heat that is required to be released is readily dissipated, and the improvement of viability can take place in seeds.
.4 However, this procedure could be improved: by increasing the room temperature just after the seeds have recovered all the degree of viability possible, in the dependance on the seed cycles.
“Spatioles A” and “spatioles E” produce different effects.
.5 For a seed, to germinate after having improved its viability at the “spatiole A”, rather than at the “spatiole E” is not the same thing.
.6 The sunflower seeds, for instance, if improved at the passage of the “spatiole E”, they would contain a toxic gas; if at the “spatiole A”, they do not.
.7
Some seeds improved at the passage of the “spatiole A” have a swifter vital cycle, as they give the priority to the reproductive function, in comparison with the same kinds of seeds, if improved at the passage of the “spatiole E”.
.8 A classic example: salad seeds. As the farmers want the salad to grow slowly, and remain at the stage of tender leaves for as long as possible, they must sow salad seeds when “spatiole E” is operative.
